Generating clock table for arbitrary date range

Generating clock table for arbitrary date range

[A. Ryan Reynolds]

Is there any way to specify a start and end date for the :block property of a clock table? Lately I have often found myself submitting an invoice based upon my clock report on Friday evening, only to be called frantically on Saturday and having to put in additional hours (this should sound familiar to many programmers :)), which I then need to attribute to next week's clock table to be submitted on the following invoice. Is there an easy way to do this?

I'm not sure how this solves problem you describe, but see the tstart and tend
options for clocktables:
http://orgmode.org/manual/The-clock-table.html#The-clock-table

For example: 

#+begin: clocktable  :tstart "<2011-10-27 Tue>" :tend "<2011-11-22 Tue>" 
#+end 


The above is for a dynamic block in the document.  If you're talking about
clocktables in agenda I assume the way to modify is to change the period of the
agenda view.

Aha! Thank you. That works nicely. I had known about :tstart and :tend
but I misunderstood their purpose.
